5 Wedding Centrepiece Ideas for Any Celebration Style

When it comes to wedding planning, every detail requires immaculate attention, but few make lasting impressions like wedding centrepieces. The centrepieces placed around the table are a focal point of the overall event décor and can transform the venue’s ambiance from ordinary to extraordinary.

Newlyweds have a variety of centrepiece options to choose from – these typically include soft-lit candles, contemporary wireless table lamps, ornate, statement-making candelabras, lush runners, and tall vases. The type of centrepiece you should consider picking typically depends on a variety of factors such as the theme of your celebration, the style of the tables selected, and your budget.

To help you inspire your wedding décor, we’ve selected the 5 most popular wedding centrepiece ideas that align with any celebration style – be it an intimate backyard wedding or a glamorous banquet reception so you can make your wedding celebration truly unforgettable.

#1 Romantic Floral Arrangements

Fresh blooms give your tables a lush flair and enhance the appeal of the venue’s décor. Floral arrangements are usually an all-time favourite among couples, irrespective of the style of the celebration theme. Flowers, with their luxurious texture and rich colours, instantly add aesthetic visuals and elegance to any table setting.

Floral arrangements usually include full-bodied blooms such as roses, ranunculus, peonies, hydrangeas, and lisianthus. These blooms, paired with soft greens such as fresh olive branches, are among the most popular choices among couples to refine their special day.

Some options to consider when you’re planning to add romantic floral arrangements for a memorable reception include:

Soft Pink and Orange Blooms

The combination of soft pink and orange flowers offers a contrast of gentle hues with vibrant accents – the softness of pink combined with chromas of orange complements a variety of these from dramatic to intimate.

Ivory Elegance: Daisies, Roses, and Gypsophila

Combine daisies, white roses, and gypsophila for a sophisticated floral centrepiece arrangement. This combination typically contrasts with classic, rustic, or vintage-themed wedding receptions. Add a subtle yet luxurious touch with the delicate blooms of daisies, roses, and gypsophila.

#2 LED and Luminous Centrepieces

For couples aiming for a modern or contemporary ambiance, LED and luminous showpieces are among the most popular centrepiece ideas. For instance, the LED Light Up Sphere and Mirror Plate Centrepiece bring a dramatic yet innovative glow to the table (literally!). The intimate lighting casts tints on the mirror beneath truly adding perfection to the ambiance.

Another gorgeous addition to this theme is the Crystal Globe LED Lamp – with its cut-glass design and light refraction, the lamp adds a feel of romance and luxury to the ambiance. An ideal pick for lavish weddings being hosted in grand ballrooms or historical venues. The lamp subtly radiates opulence without being overdramatic.

The style is a favourite for dimly lit or evening receptions, particularly during events held in the winter. Meanwhile, the Copper Glass Table Lamp with its metal-like finish and autumnal colour palette, offers an elegant and industrial-chic edge. The soft and intimate glow of the lamp with its blooming hues creates a cosy environment where conversation flows naturally.

#3 Feather and Themed Centrepieces

If your vision for the event revolves around a theme that may be bold, dramatic, and vintage, you may want to consider adding feather-themed centrepieces, as they’re a statement of the season.

A classic example is the Black and White Feathered Centrepiece which stirs nostalgia for the 1920s with its glamour and theatrical plumes. It’s the ideal centrepiece to incorporate on your special day, particularly for grand receptions and themed Gatsby parties where guests put on tuxedos and 20s-themed dresses and expect elegance, style, and drama combined into a single event.

However, for to-be-weds who prefer a monochromatic ambiance that still makes the décor stand out, the towering White Feather Centrepiece delivers elegance in spades. Its pure, white palette is show-stopping and simplistic without dramatic hues. The design is ideal for traditional receptions or modern and sophisticated wedding events.

Luckily, that’s not where themed centrepieces end – if you’re planning on a glamorous and Hollywood-style reception, consider using the Oscars Statue Table Centrepiece to add a touch of star power and luxury. These gold-stoned statues bring a whimsical yet elegant element to the ambiance. They’re an ideal addition to red-carpet-themed weddings and receptions with a golden theme.

Themed centrepieces offer an innovative yet whimsical way to add more elements to the overall event décor that align with your theme and entertain equally as much as they appeal.

#4 Martini Glass, Bowl, and Vase Centrepieces

Few décor items scream celebration like martini centrepieces. The Giant Martini Vase Centrepiece is one of the most eye-catching wedding centrepiece ideas. Its sleek, sculptural contour can include anything from shiny crystals to fresh blooms. These vases also leave room for customisation to fill with any décor element that may match your event aesthetics or theme.

Moreover, the Crystal Martini Bowl Centrepiece with Mirror Plate is another unique edition of the centrepiece collection. These are rather subtle alternatives with a crystal-clear form and a mirror base plate that illuminates the table exquisitely. This design is an ideal addition to round tables, allowing conversation and style to complement each other.

However, our all-time favourite, particularly for evening wedding receptions, includes the Martini Disco Ball Centrepiece for a perfect neon-style dance floor energy. With its disco-ball finish scattering light across the room, you can create a gorgeous blend of a cosy yet energetic ambiance.

#5 Rustic-Style & Lantern Centrepieces

Rustic weddings bring forth a sense of warmth, comfort, and intimacy, and lanterns are the statement for this style. The Metal & Glass Lantern Centrepieces provide a timeless and aesthetic glow with their candle-lit interior and panelled exterior.

These centrepieces are most popular among couples hosting barn weddings, garden receptions, and events in historic venues. Pair these centrepieces with wooden furniture for a flawless décor that has guests feeling homely and welcome.

Another seasonal favourite includes the Rustic Wooden Lantern Centrepiece – these lanterns deliver grace and allure in both large and small sizes. Consider these for autumn and winter weddings to elevate warm tones and elegant textures. However, they can also be adapted to summer weddings, particularly in outdoor settings, for a boho-chic look.
